Turtle Tootsie Polishes Mother's Day Collection: Swatches and Review

Provided for Review

Hi everyone! It's been a slow week here on my blog as I was sick for part of last week and this week. I am back today with a trio of polishes honoring the special women we call Mom. These three polishes are part of Turtle Tootsie Polishes Mother's Day Collection.

Full size bottles will be $10 each and mini bottles will be $6 each. If you purchase the full three bottle set, there will be a discount, so $25 for the full size set and $15 for the mini set.

Turtle Tootsie Polishes Cherish

Three coats

Teal green jelly holographic with pink micro-glitter

A pretty spring green. I like the coloring that the pink micro-glitter brings to the polish. This was easy to apply with three thinner coats and though there is micro-glitter, I didn't find it the finish to be gritty or bumpy but still quite smooth with one layer of topcoat.

Turtle Tootsie Polishes Lilac Bracelets

Four coats

Lilac purple holographic micro-glitter in a clear base

Micro-glitter bombs results in some of my favorite glitter polishes, especially when they sparkle in the light like this one does. You could wear this as a topper over a base color, or you could build up to opacity like I did with four coats. That does require a bit more patience I will admit but I like the effect of that more. Removal would be like any other micro-glitter polish, so expect for that. You can apply your favorite easy removal base coat or place a cotton ball soaked in acetone over the nail for a few minutes before removing in one glide.

Turtle Tootsie Polishes Queen of the House

Two coats

Mid-tone purple holographic with silver holo micro-glitter

Light and lovely and as with Cherish, I love the glints you get from the silver holo micro-glitter. This is one that was more opaque in coverage, I applied two coats for coverage and that was all I needed. Don't load up too much polish on your brush when you do apply, I felt that I had more visible brushstrokes and less was better.
